UKC Logbook DescriptionA delicate line up the right hand edge of the slab. Climb carefully to a break then traverse rightwards to the first bolt. Thin moves (harder for the short) lead up to the second bolt, followed by an easier run-out to the top. Bolted lower off. Direct start done 04/04/86.

Took me a while to commit to high smears for the reachy crux. Not sure I found most stylish method, but got up so no point agonising overmuch. Pretty bold, but there is gear on the lower section.Andy Clarke - Lead O/S - 11/Sep/14 with Dale

Always good. Glad the new resin bolt is a few cm lower than the original 'cause it was a pain for the vertically challenged to clip. A serious route if you fluff it before the first bolt or lose your cool just before the chains.Pete_Frost - Lead rpt - 02/Sep/14 with Kelly Duffy

Leapfrogged two skyhooks all the way up and still found this scary. Justin doesn't do slabs.Justin T - Lead β - 23/Jul/14 with Russ

What a climb! Felt a little nervous on the big runout sections (basically the whole climb) but powered through the crux and really enjoyed the rest of the climbing. How is this not 3 stars?!jsmcfarland - Lead O/S - 21/Jul/14 with Alan

Well I lead up to the first bolt with it clipped cos I am a big wet and then fluffed it by the first bolt. Red-pointed it from the ledge above the easy climbing instead of lowering to the ground......my badeugeneth - Lead RP - 27/May/12 with Dan Carne, Chris Carroll

Remus and felicity had already done it so the holds were chalked. the ben Kelsey onsight maybe?
Made the mistake of traversing with my hands on the footholds. interesting rockover miles above the second bolt.benkelsey - Lead β - 30/Jul/11 with Remus Knowles

My second E1.
Almost bottled it due to the first bolt being half way up! But decided to go for it. A steady (but scary!) plod to the first bolt, a brilliantly thin crux move then it's all about holding it together to the top.UnkArl - Lead O/S - 30/May/11 with Rik, Debbie

First slate lead, funny bold start followed by the crux by a bolt, then another bolt a bit higher up!Cardi - Lead O/S - 02/Jun/10 with Tom R

First did it on the same weekend two years ago. The couple of moves past the first bolt are by far the hardest and are obviously well protected. Didn't bother taking any gear though there are a couple of bits before the first bolt which might hold - it's no more than 4c to there though.Misha - Lead rpt - 30/May/10 with Ed

Nice climbing. Was very worried at one point above first bolt with a ledge fall possible, but managed to keep it together after much wailing and gnashing of teeth.Cragrat Rich - Lead O/S - 26/Jul/08

very fingery and delicate technical climbing, engenders trust in the narrowest of foot placementsRocknRoll - Lead O/S - 19/Jul/08 with Rob Gibson

First tried to lead this when it was really wet, couldn't get the crimps to stick my feet with all the water coming out of my boots. Came off at the first bolt and decided to wait for it to dry out a bit :(
Came back an hour later after Mike had lead it and quickly managed the second, no worries. Doh!mrtom - 2nd O/S - 19/Jul/08 with Mike Stephenson

Straightforward if slightly unnerving climbing. Slate slopers, hmmmm... Two reachy moves on it but both of them are near the bolts and can be bypassed by judicious application of footwork. E1 5b in Slate guide and North Wales Select.climbingpixie - Lead O/S - 27/Aug/07 with James

First ascent of PYB week. A good shake down, and fantastic intro to slate. Could not believe how little the holds were, and how much you could pull on them.climbingrev - TR O/S - 27/Aug/07
